A Refined Look

The advantages of standing seam metal roofs are difficult to ignore. Standing seam roofs are able to survive hurricanes, hail, even wildfires. A standing seam metal roof is durable with a typical life span of up to 50 years or more. A standing seam metal roof can help save energy, thanks to it's ability to reflect the sun’s heat. If properly installed, a standing seam metal roof requires virtually no upkeep.

Standing seam metal roofing is nothing new... In America, copper and lead roofs began appearing on important public buildings early in the 18th century, which included New York City Hall 239-888-6628. By the mid 18th century, metal roofing had become more common as mass-produced steel began to cover barns, then ordinary residential homes. By the 1920s, aluminum had entered the market, this resulted for much lighter and rust-free options, which is especially important if your home is located near salty ocean water. Paint coatings quickly followed, which added color and longevity to both aluminum and steel roofs. 

Today, metal roofing is more popular than ever, its popularity has nearly quadrupled in the last 20 years. And while it is considered a premium roof, the components are on the more expensive side, as is the skilled labor for installation. A metal roof can increase the resale value of a home by up to 6%. 

Living With A Standing Seam Roof

Standing seam roofing has on average a 40 to 70 year life span, which depends on the type of metal used, harshness of the climate, and of course quality and the skill of the installer. Standing seam roofs do require the most training to get right, and are the easiest to mess up.

If you are searching for standing seam metal roof near me, and are located in Southwest Florida (Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Naples and Lehigh), choosing SeaCoast to install your metal roof will yield you an amazing standing seam roof that will last for decades.

Importance of Proper Installation

One thing to note, a standing seam roof will be the noisiest option compared to all of the choices for roofing. Unless you have a solid layer of insulation, it will be much easier to hear the ting-ting sound of rain, and especially hail. Also, improper installation will result in oil canning.

Quality Enclosure

There are 3 types of standing seam metal roofing panels and all of them are a concealed fastener system. This means that the fasteners on each metal panel are not visible or exposed to the weather. Concealed fastener panels are more weather-tight and expensive when compared to exposed fastener panels.

• Mechanically Seamed - The panel edges are connected together with a roof seamer.
• Snap Lock Panels With Concealed Fasteners And Clips - The clips attach to the panel and fasten directly onto the roof deck.
• Nail Strip or Nail Flange - A standing seam panel that does not use clips.

Pricing

Standing seam is by far the most expensive type of roof to install, as well as to repair. The material is the most type of roofing material, which typically gets cut to size on site. It requires a highly skilled and experienced crew (like Seacoast Roofing) to make look good.

Also, standing seam roofing is also the most costly to repair after a storm. If one of the panels is dented/bent from impact, typically the entire panel has to be replaced, which can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000 just for the materials. Further, the new panel will likely not match the rest of the roof, which may have faded a tad in the sun.

These are just a few things to keep in mind when choosing to install a standing seam roof.
